The keynote presentation given by IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol at the “Energy Efficiency for the Future” DEMEX Side Event, Tuesday 12 September 2017.
This webinar focused on where we are today and how we could achieve key energy-related sustainable developments goals on climate change; air quality and universal access to modern energy.
The International Energy Agency’s annual benchmark for tracking energy investment, World Energy Investment 2019 provides a full picture of today’s capital flows and what they might mean for tomorrow’s energy sector. It assesses whether the frameworks and strategies put in place by governments, the energy industry, and financial institutions are spurring timely investment, and how spending across sectors and technologies matches with the world’s energy security and sustainability needs.
What do changing energy dynamics mean for the world’s largest oil and gas exporters? A new special report, part of the IEA’s flagship World Energy Outlook series, focuses on six key producers, Iraq, Nigeria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates & Venezuela, and examines the pressures that they face in different price and policy scenarios to 2040. The drive for energy efficiency and the long-term response to climate change, in addition to technology innovation and the shale revolution, all point to sustained pressure on economies that rely heavily on revenue from oil and gas.
his webinar presented the most recent findings from IEA’s Energy Efficiency Market Report 2018, featuring:
- The Efficient World Scenario: What would happen by 2040 if countries realised all the economically viable energy efficiency potential that is available today?
- The Efficient World Strategy: The policies, technologies and strategies for achieving an Efficient World exist today. Global experiences point the way.
- Special focus on South Africa and other emerging economies: highlights, progress, and potential.
- Findings on the current rate of progress on improving energy efficiency, and historic and current trends.
The webinar was organised by the South African Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency Initiatives Directorate and the International Energy Agency, and is presented by Joe Ritchie, Energy Policy Analyst at the IEA and report coordinator.

IEA's view on the developments and trends in the world energy system, up and to 2040.
Without too many words- EFOW view is that we need to urgently reform our present policy approach on Energy, but start to organize Energy Architecture & UN SDGs development/ transition programs to scale.

Large differences in regional energy prices are set to affect industrial competitiveness, influencing investment decisions and company strategies. The extraordinary rise of light tight oil in the United States will play a major role in meeting global demand growth over the next decade, but the Middle East – the only large source of low-cost oil – will remain at the centre of the longer-term oil outlook. India is set to overtake China in the 2020s as the principal source of growth in global energy demand. These are just some of the key findings from the IEA in the latest edition of its World Energy Outlook.
Does growth in North American oil supply herald a new era of abundance - or does turmoil in parts of the Middle East cloud the horizon? How much can energy efficiency close the competitiveness gap caused by differences in regional energy prices? What considerations should shape decision-making in countries using, pursuing or phasing out nuclear power? How close is the world to using up the available carbon budget, which cannot be exceeded if global warming is to be contained? How can sub-Saharan Africa's energy sector help to unlock a better life for its citizens?

The webinar will present the main results of the analysis in the Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2017, and will cover:
- The implications of Southeast Asia’s growing role in global energy consumption for energy security, the environment and economic development
- A roadmap towards universal electricity access across the region, with details on the mix of fuels and technologies that could achieve this at the lowest cost
- A pathway towards mitigating Southeast Asia’s growing energy security and environmental concerns illustrated in The Sustainable Development Scenario, including the implications for energy sector investment to 2040
This is the third webinar in a series that is presenting the key findings and analysis from the World Energy Outlook 2017.
A new global energy landscape is emerging, resetting long-held expectations for our energy future. Bringing together the latest data and policy developments, the World Energy Outlook 2013 presents up to date, projections of energy trends through to 2035, fuel by fuel, sector by sector, region by region and scenario by scenario. Oil is analysed in-depth: resources, production, demand, refining and international trade. Energy efficiency is treated in much the same way as conventional fuels: Its prospects and contribution are presented in a dedicated chapter. The report examines the outlook for Brazil's energy sector and provides updates on three key areas of critical importance to energy and climate trends: (i) achieving universal energy access; (ii) developments in subsidies to fossil fuels and renewables; and (iii) the impact of energy use on climate change. Oil supply, demand and trade: a fresh look at the economics and decline rates of different types of oil production around the world, the prospects for light tight oil inside and outside North America, along with new analysis of oil products and the refining sector.

From the rise of connected devices at home, to automated industrial production processes and smart mobility, digital technologies are increasingly changing how, where and when energy is consumed. The IEA’s latest report, Digitalization & Energy, is the first-ever comprehensive effort to depict how digital technologies could transform the world’s energy systems. The report examines the impact of digital technologies on energy demand sectors, looks at how energy suppliers can use digital tools to improve operations, and explores the transformational potential of digitalization to help create a highly interconnected energy system. The report also explores the wider policy implications of increasing connectivity and automation, including for energy security, energy access, employment, data ownership, and privacy.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
This year’s World Energy Outlook covers many themes, fuels and technologies, as always, but in essence it is the story of four major upheavals in global energy:
In the United States the shale revolution is not yet done – and it is turning the US into the undisputed global leader for oil & gas production. In our outlook, for example, US oil output growth is equivalent to 80% of the growth in global demand to 2025. The second upheaval is on cost reductions for clean energy technologies. Since 2010, costs for new solar PV have come down by 70% and this technology is on track to be the cheapest source of new generation in many countries e.g. in India by 2025 and China by 2030. Costs of new wind power are down by 25% over the same period, with recent cost trends for offshore wind particularly impressive. Battery costs down by 40%. This is upending traditional assumptions about how we can meet our future energy needs. We are all used to the idea that China drives many global trends, but typically we’re talking about markets for coal and oil. However, China’s energy future will not be the same as its energy past. As President Xi has announced, China is entering a new era in its development, and one key aspect of this is the ‘drive to make China’s skies blue again’ and tackle the issue of air pollution. China already the global leader in many clean energy technologies – for example, accounting for half of new global deployment of solar PV in 2016 (no sign of a let-up in 2017). It is also setting the pace in gas markets: LNG imports to China so far in 2017 are up 40% year-on-year. Last but not least – electrification. Electricity is becoming an ever-larger part of our energy use and our energy-related spending. The rising middle classes in warmer climates, especially in Asia, are installing air conditioners in record numbers.. electric vehicles are making a move in the transport sector; we are all surrounded by an increasing number of digital and connected devices in our daily lives. In our Outlook, electricity demand increases at twice the speed of overall energy demand. [CLICK] These changes bring reasons for optimism – they brighten the perspective for more affordable and sustainable energy, as well as access to electricity for the 1.1 billion that remain without. But there are some new risks too – need to constantly reappraise and reinforce our approaches to energy security, for example to take into account the changes on electricity. And, as we shall see, we’re still not on track to meet global objectives on climate, on access and on air quality. There are still multiple uncertainties over how these upheavals will play out and it’s never been more important to understand the underlying dynamics of a fast-changing energy world – those who misread the signs risk being caught out or left behind.
As ever, there is no single story about the future of global energy – that is why, in the World Energy Outlook, we have multiple scenarios and case studies; in first part of this presentation, focus on our main scenario, the New Policies Scenario, which show where today’s policies and policy intentions are leading the energy sector..
However, during our forecast period production from the non-OPEC countries booms, led by the United States. Gains from the United States alone will cover 80% of the world’s demand growth, with Canada, Brazil and Norway – all members of the IEA family – able to cover the rest through 2020. Total non-OPEC supply growth is 5.2 mb/d.
The OPEC countries manage only to increase their capacity by 1.2 mb/d. Within the OPEC group, the largest expansion is seen in Iraq. Our forecast assumes that production from the Neutral Zone resumes. However there are several countries within the group where product is actually expected to decline. We have already mentioned Venezuela, but there is also expected to be a big decline in Angola. There remain long term concerns about political stability in Libya and Nigeria.
Another impact of rising US production is the fact that US net imports have fallen dramatically in the last few years. At the same, China’s net imports have ramped up considerably, surpassing the US last year.
<<CLICK>>
Thanks to the second wave of the shale, US net imports will fall further, to only half of their historical record.
<<CLICK>>
At the same time, Chinese net imports will grow. By 2023, China will reach the historical record of the US.
<<CLICK>>
In fact, India’s import volumes in 2023 will be higher than the US.
Our forecast shows that after 2020 there will be no net crude exporting country in Asia. Middle East exporters will only be able to provide 1 mb/d more to Asian importers. So, most of the 3.6 mb/d of incremental import requirements will have to come from the Atlantic Basin, taking longer time. This raises important issues in energy security for the Asian economies.
The chokepoints, such as the Suez canal and, especially Malacca Straights will become even more vital.

There is more room for Japan to align current support to renewables to the falling cost of technologies. The recent introduction of the auction system for utility-scale solar PV is a good move.
However, just focusing on the cost of technologies (i.e. LCOE) is not sufficient. Policy challenge would be to minimise total system cost, while ensuring flexibility and interconnections. Thermal power plants as a flexibility source is needed for the moment, while electricity storage and demand response can be explored as a future source of flexibility.
Japan’s geography is complex and its internal interconnections are limited. In addition to prioritizing internal infrastructure development, the introduction of a location signal to steer renenewable investment could be considered.
The challenge is all the more imperative, as Japan cannot rely on international connections to source flexibility, as in Europe.
In our central scenario, global nuclear capacity grows by over 100 GW, to 520 GW by 2040.
Nuclear power is still the largest single source of low carbon generation in both Europe and the United States. Losing aging nuclear capacity is a major challenge for both decarbonisation and energy security. This decade 20 billion USD was invested every year into renewable facilities that simply replace decomissioned nuclear plants without any impact on CO2 emissions. Given the risk profile and capital needs of nuclear a strong government involvement is indispensable. China’s successful nuclear program is based on two pillars: a nuclear industry that has the project management capability for efficient construction and a strong policy support with appropriate financing.
